TOPIARY at EPCOT's Flower and Garden Festival 2016

Many people enjoy a Disney vacation, but one under-appreciated aspect of a visit to Walt Disney World is the gorgeous landscaping.  Each resort has plants and flowers that enhance the respective theme, and some resorts, like the Grand Floridian, place enormous fresh flower arrangements throughout the public areas. This spring I was lucky enough to see Disney gardeners up their own game at EPCOT's Flower and Garden Festival.  There were beautiful topiary of Disney characters everywhere.  I captured a few and want to share them here.  Not all the photos are that great, but hopefully the gorgeous will shine through anyway!  Enjoy!

Donald and Daisy were right at the front of the park.

Some Fantasia scenes

The Fab Five were seen at the pop-up musical playground added just for the Flower and Garden Festival.  It's on the bridge between Future World and World Showcase.

Elsa and Anna in Norway

Lion King peeps in Africa.

Back to Future World for Mickey, a giant sunflower, and supersized butterflies (next to the special butterfly garden).

The highlight of the girls' day!  Phineas and Ferb at Agent P's World Showcase Adventure.

You have to look up to find Peter Pan in the UK!

BONUS - Google photo assistant created this little video from the topiary photos.  I thought I'd share for fun!
